CB Jayvaughn Myers, Dade City (Fla.) Pasco
Myers says that he and his brother, five-star wide receiver Nate Craig-Myers will "likely" attend the same school. Myers intends to visit North Carolina, USC, South Carolina, Auburn and Ole Miss in the coming months. He and Craig-Myers intend to announce verbal commitments on National Signing Day. Myers will visit Ole Miss on Jan. 29, but is yet to set other travel dates.
What he said: "I have to talk to my brother about the other dates. I only know the Ole Miss dates. We're taking the same visits."
WR Sam Bruce, Ft. Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas
South Carolina, Miami, Ohio State and Florida are all visit stops for the Miami commit. The new Hurricane staff won't retain Miami assistant coach Kevin Beard, with whom Bruce is close, and that news was thought to have made an impact on the four-star wide receiver. On Monday, Bruce did not seem totally shaken by the situation, but his pre-National Signing Day look around continues nonetheless.
What he said: "The [Beard] news is just like the [Al] Golden news. It's not a huge, huge deal. It's still Miami for me."

DT Michail Carter Jackson, Ga.
Carter will have a busy January because he is going to try to squeeze all five of his official visits in before committing on National Signing Day. Clemson will host him on Jan. 15, Georgia on Jan. 22 and Georgia Tech on Jan. 29. Carter also said Alabama and Auburn will get mid-week official visits in January.
What he said: "I will say that Alabama is recruiting me the hardest. I like the way Bo Davis coaches."

Keith Gavin, Crawfordville (Fla.) Wakulla
Gavin says he's down to Florida State and Alabama, which isn't news to most. He is yet to take official visit to either school and plans to do so in the coming month. A one-time Florida State commit, Gavin showed up in Orlando wearing Alabama sweat pants.
What he said: "With Alabama, I like all the coaching staff and the school itself. At Florida State, it was a dream school to go. I decomitted because I did it too early. It was before the season. I want to look around. Now it's either them or Alabama."
OT E.J. Price Lawrenceville (Ga.) Archer
Price has narrowed his list down to three with Oklahoma, USC and Georgia as the standouts but his recruitment isn't that easy. The four-star offensive lineman has three visits coming up in January with LSU, Oklahoma and Auburn, the final one before signing day.
What he said: "Right now, those are the favorites."
LB Michael Divinity Marrero (La.) John Ehret
The former LSU commitment reopened his recruiting process in December and will choose between Texas A&M and LSU on Jan. 5. He is a mid-term enrollee.
What he said: "When I went to (Texas) A&M, I told my mother and father it felt like a second home ... LSU is only 45 minutes away from home and everyone can come see me play."
Drake Davis, Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy
Davis is thought to be down to LSU and Ole Miss, but he announced plans to visit Alabama and possibly Arizona State. He also tossed around the idea of Boise State and a few others. That said, the Tigers and Rebels still seem like the teams to beat.
What he said: "I still have four more visits left after the LSU one. It's going to be Alabama and Ole Miss for sure. Maybe Arizona State and then I don't know who else."
DE Antonneous Clayton Vienna (Ga.) Dooly County
Clayton has been committed to Florida since October and showed up wearing a Gators hat but there is a good chance the four-star defensive end takes a visit to Florida State in January. There are no other competitors other than the Seminoles.
What he said: "FSU is telling me they would be the best decision for me. Florida has some other defensive ends committed and FSU is guaranteeing me early playing time."
S Lamar Jackson Elk Grove (Calif.) Franklin
The four-star defensive back has had a top four of Arizona State, Nebraska, UCLA and USC, and now Oregon has rejoined that top group. Jackson plans to visit sometime in January before his commitment late in the month. It looks like Nebraska and USC have the edge at this point but a visit to Eugene could influence things.
What he said: "(Oregon) is still pushing and I haven't visited up there yet and I want to go there before I make a decision."
DB Kristian Fulton Metairie (La.) Rummel
Fulton has a lot to figure out before he commits on National Signing Day. Right now, Florida, Arkansas and LSU are his top three but Miami and Texas are still in the mix. Fulton has official visits locked in on Jan. 22 for Arkansas and Jan. 29 for Florida. LSU and Miami are battling for an official visit on Jan. 15.
What he said: "I've loved LSU since they've offered me. I'm talking to Texas to maybe set up an official visit for during the week."
ATH Brandon Burton Gardena (Calif.) Junipero Serra
Burton has a lot going on in his recruitment but he going to try to wind it down this weekend. He is hoping to commit this weekend but might take more visits in January. UCLA and Florida State are seen as two of his top schools with Stanford, Ohio State, Notre Dame and Oklahoma in the picture.
What he said: "I hear a lot about UCLA and Florida State. (UCLA) is close to home and I can play on both sides of the ball there. At Florida State everybody was doing the 'Nole chop and that was cool."
ATH Shyheim Carter Kentwood, La.
It's tough to sniff out where Carter is headed and according to him he's yet to schedule any of his official visits. He did however say that Alabama, Ole Miss and Georgia are the schools recruiting him the hardest and he's planning on making trips to all three in January. The odds-on favorite to land Carter remains Alabama, but he's keeping his decision under wraps until National Signing Day.
What he said: "Me and Coach (Alabama defensive coordinator Jeremy) Pruitt, we've been having a good relationship since he was at Georgia."
WR Dredrick Snelson, Pembroke Pines (Fla.) Flanagan
A Minnesota commit, Snelson is still taking a look at other programs. He intends to visit UCF, Wisconsin and Maryland in the coming weeks. Snelson says Minnesota is ok with his decision to take visits and that the Gophers have "nothing to worry about."
What he said: "Of the visits, Maryland has me most excited. I hear a lot of great things about that program and Coach [D.J.] Durkin is there. He's a cool dude."
OT Cohl Cabral Rancho Cucamonga (Calif.) Los Osos
The three-star offensive lineman has been committed to Arizona State since May and USC is trying to make a push, but Cabral said he's sticking with the Sun Devils. According to Cabral, USC's coaches said he would be a great fit within the program but he's not going to look at other programs.
What he said: "I'm 100 percent with ASU. They're telling me I would be a great fit in the program and they've talked about the history of linemen there but I'm not all that interested. (Arizona State) was the best fit for me."
WR Cavin Ridley, Deerfield Beach, Fla.
Ridley's older brother, Calvin, is becoming a household name at Alabama and Cavin Ridley is expected to follow his family lineage. He may or may not announce his commitment at Saturday's game and is expected to choose the Crimson Tide should that take place.
What he said: "I got Alabama, South Carolina and Tennessee. I might announce. They're gonna tell me if I can or something like that. I'm ready, though, I think."
